We don't need one though. 8 is probably our most stacked spot — Ødegaard, Havertz, ESR, Vieira, Trossard, Rice, can all play there, which should be more than plenty unless we sell ESR or something. Plus like, Nwaneri could get game time in the early FA Cup depending on our draw imo.

Should be more worried about our defence. With Tomi going to the Asian Cup, we'll be down to 5 fit defenders (6 if Timber comes back super fast ig, and 7 if you count Cedric which I don't). Not good enough, cuz the margins become super thin then. Also some concern over our 6, cuz I think we should really be selling Partey cuz he's so inconsistent both in availability and performance — and then if Jorginho and Elneny aren't renewed we're in a really tight spot.
